Characterization of an intracellular bacterium infecting the digestive gland of the South African abalone Haliotis midae
2016-01-01
Abstract excerpt
A Rickettsiales-like prokaryote was observed in digestive gland epithelium of farmed South African abalone Haliotis midae sampled for routine surveillance. Histological examination showed basophilic inclusions typical of rickettsial infections in shellfish (Mouton, 2000). This study aimed to identify the Rickettsiales-like prokaryote (RLP) colonising H. midae. Total genomic DNA was extracted from infected digestiv...
